Doctors Take No Stock in Theory
That the Man Was Murdered.
ATLANTA, Aug. H.-Luke Mcnamara, a
white man, was found dead on the State
road, near the soap factory this morning
His legs and arms were horribly mangled,
and his breast was crushed in. The man
was last seen late last night. He was in
company with s. l.. Norman, q fellow EN-
ploye at Jacks cracker factory. Norman
left Mcnamara and went home, the latter
starting for Bellwood, point two miles up
the State road, where he boarded. Two
negroes, win johnson and Sam Copeland,
who were seen looking at the remains early
this morning, have been arrested
and locked up. They are sus-
pected of having murdered the man
and thrown his body on the track Money
was taken from his pockets Mcnamara
came here several months ago from Lexing-
ton, KY and has been working at Jacks
cracker factory for some time. He was
single. The doctors take no stock in the
idea that he was murdered, but think that
he was killed by a passing train. There are
no marks on his person TO indicate that he
was either cut, shot or dubbed. The re-
mains were almost black when discovered
and 1T is thought that several trains passed
over the body.

CENTRAL AMERICAN TRADE.
Need of a Railway to Extend the Com
merce of the Countries.

merce of the Countries.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Consul Dupre at
San Salvador closes a report to the State
Department upon industrial and commercial
topics with the following paragraph: "The
trade of the Pacific States of Central Amer
lea must be confined mainly, until rail-
way may be built across the republics, to
San Francisco. Recently C. p Huntington
bought the railway from San Jose. village
without harbor on the Pacific coast of
Guatemala, seventy-tive miles in length, TO
Guatemala City Owning, as he does
with others, railway lines extending from
oregon and California to Newport News on
the Chesapeake, he must purchase this
central American highway, that he may
own as we'll short interoceanic route. 1t
Is hardly more than $50 miles from Guate-
mala City to the Bay of Honduras, hard by
New Orleans and Mobile. But there is no
harbor at San Jose, and to create one would
cost more than that at Cherbourg,
France, an almost incredible sum.
On the contrary, though the country
be rough, as rent by earthquakes through
past ages, the construction of a railway
from perfectly land locked harbor on the
bay of Honduras to another, La Union in
Salvador ON the Pacific, is the most desir-
able of all possible commercial and political
consummations that could be achieved by
American wealth and energy in Central
America "

APossIBLE BUSINESS BOOM.
Various Interesting Items from
Charleston.


Charleston.
CHARLESTON, Aug BIN the meantime
the merchants are in earnest about the gala
week and have already mapped out a pro-
gramme which promises TO be very attrac-
tive. The fourth section Of the interstate
commerce law has had revivifying infiu-
ence on the trade of Charleston, and 1t is
not improbable that the proposed gala
week will be but the initiation of a yearly
trade festival which will mark new de-
paTttfre IN the CID merchants
agree in saying that the immediate effect
of the famous fourth section has been q
gratifying increase @ in, n trade; that
successfully with New York, Baltimore
Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Chicago, and
other large cities for the trade of the State,
and that their business this year has been
much larger than they had anticipated even
in view of the splendid crop prospects.
Altogether the outlook for the Earthquake
City Is very encouraging; so much so that
the ong-talked Of prospect OF running the
railroads along the water front, which was
frustrated three or four years ago by the
meanness of one or two rich property
owners who refused to sell their lands ex-
cept at exorbitant rates, has been revived
with reasonable prospect of a successful
result.

NOT FIRED BY HYENAS.
THE THEORY OF INCENDIARISM AT
THE BRIDGE EXPLODED.

Probability that the Section Hands
Failed to Extinguish all the Fires in
the Grass-A Possibility that Spark
from the Locomotive of the Train
Preceding the Excursion Did the
Work.
CHICAGO, Aug. 14.-The Times special
from Champagne, Ill, says: ~ o. Baker,
President of the Illinois Society of Engi-
neers and professor of civil engineering in
the University of Illinois, returned last
night from a careful personal examination
of the engineering problems of the Chats
worth disaster, and an examination of the
condition of the other bridges and cuIverts,
and the protection from fire given those
culyerts by the road officials and track
hands.
INCENDIARISM IMPROBABLE.
He favored the Times correspondent with
the following: ''The incendiary theory has
no foundation whatever | am unable, per-
sonally, to find any citizen of Chatsworth
who have seen suspicious characters loiter-
ing about as required by that theory. The
flames of the burning culvert were plainly
seen from Chatsworth at intervals for sew
eral hours before the accident. From the
Law of the land they must have risen five or
six feet above the track to have been seen
so far.
AN ATTEMPT TO PROTECT THEM.
1T is plain that an attempt has been
made to protect the bridges of the road
from fire, but personal inspection of other
culverts in that vicinity shows that it was
not done so as to afford complete protection
Personal inspection along the line of the
road for several miles shows that the grass
and weeds were not all burned off, but many
patches were left unburned, and in the inn
mediate vicinity it was more carelessly
done than elsewhere.
SUFFICIENTLY STRONG.
''Tbe culvert itself was of the usual build,
and had abundant strength to carry the
train but for the fire which had destroyed
the lower portion"
He added that he thought it probable
that the fire left by the section men late in
the afternoon, who by their own testimony
admitted that there was burning grass only
forty rods away, was driven down
to the culvert when they left by slight
change of wind. Otherwise it is possible
that sparks from the special train of the
superintendent of bridges, the last train
before the fated excursion, kindled in the
grass near the cul >ert and burned slowly for
q long time and finally fired the culvert.
